Description

A refreshing and creamy Honey & Lime Ice Cream that combines tangy lime zest and juice with sweet honey and gin for a smooth, scoopable frozen dessert. This no-churn recipe uses whipped double cream and condensed milk for richness, creating a perfectly balanced treat topped with fresh raspberries.

Ingredients

Scale

Ice Cream Base

600ml double cream
397g can condensed milk
3 tbsp honey
3 limes, 2 zested, all juiced
60ml gin

Topping

150g raspberries
Remaining lime zest from 1 lime

Instructions

Whip the cream: Using a mixer, whip the double cream until it just starts to thicken and hold soft peaks, being careful not to overwhip.
Combine ingredients: Gently whisk the condensed milk, honey, most of the lime zest, all the juice from the limes, and the gin into the whipped cream until fully incorporated and smooth.
Freeze the mixture: Pour the ice cream base into a shallow, freezer-safe container, spreading it evenly. Place it in the freezer and let it set for 3 to 4 hours or overnight until firm. There is no need to stir during freezing because the gin prevents it from freezing solid.
Prepare to serve: Before serving, remove the ice cream from the freezer 10 minutes prior to allow it to soften slightly for easier scooping.
Garnish and enjoy: Top the ice cream with the remaining lime zest and fresh raspberries for a bright, fruity finish. Serve immediately.

Notes

The gin in the recipe prevents the ice cream from freezing completely solid, so no churning or stirring is required during freezing.
Remove the ice cream from the freezer 10 minutes before serving so it softens for easier scooping.
This ice cream keeps well frozen for up to two months if stored in an airtight container.
You can substitute fresh raspberries with other fresh berries or fruits of your choice.
